Silures in The Celts Collection
Wales Perfumery Silures is an eau de parfum from 2025, created by the British brand Wales Perfumery.
The fragrance is part of the The Celts collection, dedicated to Celtic heritage and the evocative atmosphere of Wales.
Silures is positioned as a unisex fragrance, so its character is not limited by traditional notions of feminine or masculine perfumery.
The composition is built around a contrast of warm gourmand nuances, spices, fruity darkness and dry woody facets.
It evokes a rich autumn dessert, an aged drink and old wood—a combination that feels intimate, deep and distinctive.
According to its stated characteristics, Silures has a very strong sillage, so a moderate application is advisable, especially when trying it for the first time.
The Fragrance’s Character and Mood
Silures unfolds with a dense, warming accord in which brandy is supported by butter, cake and vanilla.
Its gourmand side does not come across as carefree sweetness: cardamom, clove and nutmeg add a dry spiciness, while oak and guaiac wood create a dark, almost smoky backdrop.
Blackberry brings a tart berry nuance to the composition, osmanthus adds a soft floral-fruity shimmer, and nutty facets make the scent rounder and more velvety.
The result is a fragrance with a pronounced texture: it simultaneously calls to mind a dessert, a spiced drink and a wooden box containing dried spices.
The Perfumer and the Brand’s Style
Silures was created by Louise Smith.
Her signature approach is expressed here through a layered blend of gourmand and woody materials: sweetness is intertwined with spices, while the fruity accent is integrated into a warm, rich base.
For Wales Perfumery, this fragrance is an expressive part of The Celts collection: Silures demonstrates how a British perfume brand can draw on historical and cultural motifs through the mood, texture and colour of a composition rather than through literal references alone.
This release will appeal to those who enjoy distinctive fragrances with strong sillage and are not afraid of unusual gourmand combinations.
When to Wear Silures
Silures feels most natural in cool weather, when its brandy, vanilla, spices and woody notes unfold with particular richness.
It is a fitting choice for an evening, a walk, an intimate gathering or any occasion when you want to leave a memorable fragrant impression.
The database does not provide precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing, so it is sensible to start with one spray on skin and add another if needed.
On fabric, the fragrance may last longer, and its very strong sillage may feel more intense, so it is best to apply it to clothing sparingly.
